More Than A Christmas| Gift! You give him health and the great outdoors, a love of forests, streams and open skies, and a hobby that can only increase communion between father and son eo» when you give him a Montague split bamboo fishing rod. r L IO GIVE a boy oramanamar- |] velous split bamboo of which he can be truly proud—a reel that would warm the cockles of any true fisherman’s heart — is to start that boy or man off toward the greatest days, and the warmest friendships, and the most valuable associations of his life.

How are the rescuing forces sent on their way? Exactly what happens during those uneasy hours when your radio is so mysteriously silent? There are men in every radio station whose voices you never hear but who have stories to tell. Perhaps you do not know it, but those lightning shifts from one | program to another are effected by men who received their training at sea. They are the men in the control rooms and theirs is the job of seeing that your pro- gram comes to you smoothly, evenly and without an interruption. And __ these operators are by far the most efficient men on the air. Commercial broadcasting is slow in recognizing its Michael O'Loughlins. Perhaps it considers itself simply a form of amusement. And yet, in the theater, if an actor breaks his leg, he receives a benefit; if he dies, he is almost canonized. The cinema has never been slow to tell you how its heroes or heroines suffer for their Art and $2,500 a week. Therefore it wouldn’t be greatly out of line for the radio to give a few minutes to those men who have your lives at the tips of their fingers whenever you venture out of sight of land.
